Porsche GT3

Porsche's slow trickle of 911 variants continues with the new GT3 that debuted in Geneva. The GT3 is a harder-edged version of the 911 aimed at track performance. The usual elements are here, including a tuned engine that revs to 9000 rpm and makes 475 hp (75 more than the Carrera S), and a wide body kit that is best described as totally sweet. In the quest for better lap times at Germany's famed Nurburgring Nordschleife, the GT3 also comes with a dual-clutch automatic gear box and active rear-wheel steering.
